meanwhile, companies are killing lifetime licenses that were previously paid for.

Yep I remember clearly the first time this happened to me with Splashtop Remote in like 2012. And more recently 4K video downloader. "4K video downloader is being deprecated, please upgrade to our new application, 4K video downloader" Literally only difference is my lifetime license is no longer good and I'd have to buy a subscription.

Well, too bad there are easier ways to download content and even if there wasn't you have made sure I will never get anywhere near your products ever again.

That's strange, 4k allowed me to upgrade my lifetime sub key to a new key for the new program.

Whaaaat?? That's interesting, thanks. I will definitely have to look into that. I didn't bother with the new one I just got mad lol

I just double checked my emails, and I forgot I did have to pay $7 AUD (like 4.50 USD) to upgrade it, which annoyed me a little at the time but was cheap enough I decided to swallow it.

This is wild. I decided to see what was what and clicked the link in my email to upgrade. It took me to the upgrade site and I pasted in my license key also retrieved from an email, and it said the license was inactive. I tried to retrieve the key again in case they had changed it, but it said no key associated with my email. Again they had emailed me the link to upgrade. Then I moved to my PC where I clicked the link in the application to upgrade and it autofilled my license key, same issue. Oh well, I put in a ticket, but I'm no worse off than I was before. Thanks for the info, though.
